40-3327 Fictional Documentary

Advanced video production workshop course explores the line that separates documentary and narrative media. Students in the class will examine the works of documentarians who are using fictional elements and narrative techniques in their work to call into question concepts of truth and reality and to expand the definition of documentary. Concepts covered include narrative shooting and editing techniques, research, scripting, recreations, and working with actors and subjects. Each student will produce a video project that has factual and fictional elements and that challenges the traditional definition of documentary.
